The s EC9s is definitely an underappreciated gun. Point in fact, just about any single stack, 9 mm , 380, or 45, don't get the credit they deserve from the larger youtube channels. I guess they don't have a large enough magazine or are tactical enough for them.

thank you!

@@Gypsy-skully You deserve it, congratulations 🤝

The struggle is real.

Converting a missouri rifle is relatively easy. Removing the percussion drum and replacing it with a vent liner is all that is needed for the barrel. Finding a lock to fit the mortis might be a little bit of a problem.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 it was a gift, the sear and spring are missing. Wanted to see how it shot before spending much on it. I have a GP cap lock rifle, thought a flint lock would be nice to have

Rmcoxyoke.com carries repair parts for investarms, lyman, TC, and traditon locks. I find the traditon locks are very close in design to CVA.

Thank you for the kind words

This is possibly the most ignorant comment ever.

The people I ride with do not wish to be on video or on the internet.

You sound like an old fuckin parrot 🦜 repeating the same old shit that want-to-bee bikers have been sniveling about for close to 60 years. Any AMF models are now bringing twice their orig MSRP - Not so much for your Suzuki Anal Intruder.

First, call someone out as a want to be biker. Just just shows how ignorant you are. Point of fact, your entire comment showcases you have a Masters degree in ignorance. Secondly, I buy motorcycles to ride, not as an investment. Finally, why would anyone who rides dole out There hard earn cash on some clapped out AMF Harley when they could buy a metric bike.That's much newer, has fewer miles, and cost less than half.

​@@Skullyandgypsy3145 You will never know ! 😂

You're right. I will never know Because. I don't waste good money

She really dislikes Taurus and nothing will change that.

Then you are a lucky man because that's about the extent of our arguments lol

That's what we try to do.

Sad to say it's not just some Harley. Dealerships that act like that. I was at a metric dealership. They wouldn't even pull the bike out far enough for me to sit on it. Let alone take it for a test drive.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 Wow thats not good. In north america mtorcycle sale across all builders are down. The entire dealership model needs to become much more customer focused.

I think I sort of understand what you're trying to say that the Lyman/invest arms are good And the Petersoli something is not good. Is there some way you can translate that into english.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I would have to say you have maybe 3 or 4 more riding years under your belt, then I do. So I also understand what it was like back then. Be well, be safe, and maybe we will see each other on the road someday.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 I'm way up near Erie.

@martinrice9190 I'm just south of you in clarion county

That is an absolutely freaking, awesome analogy.

I'm the same way with one exception. The cold just hits me harder now than it used to.

What does the 2-wheel fleet consist of?

Thank you for proving my point. Harley screwed up and almost went under, and AMF almost finished them off. Then they took back control, made some changes, and made a dam good bike. And as far as my attitude, we have a HD plant here in Pennsylvania. We'll at least till they ship that off to China.

AMF continued to make the bikes like you bought using HD's antiquated tooling. At the same time AMF was bringing in modern CNC equipment, modernizing the plant and started the development of the EVO., which in turn saved the brand. So AMF wasn't a 'mistake' it was a necessity. I'm with m.f.m on this one. I get triggered when people badmout AMF, knowing they saved the company

@martincvitkovich724 Yes, I know all about A MF trying to update harley's production process. All said and done this is where it stands.Harley was bordering on Irrelevance And bankruptcy. Selling out to AMF did little to nothing to help that reputation. Only after the Davidson family took back control did the reputation and product improve. Harley davidson is now one of the premier touring bikes, and this was the point of my video. Harley davidson priced itself well outside the range of the average throttle jockey.

Apparently, you do otherwise you wouldn't have said anything.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 you needed to know, so you can put your stupid away.

I care, harley people have gone down hill too, not just the bikes..proof in comment section.

@@leeinwis Your jealous because you wish you had big loud pipes. Stop simping, get a mans bike

@@leeinwis can't argue with that

If I were to buy a brand new Turing bike it would be a gold wing

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 I'm into adventure bikes now.

@leeinwis cool . I miss my DR650. I had back in the 90s, not quite an adventure bike but I did have some good adventures on it.

I was referring to bikes made during the AMF years being junk. From 85 and on Harley made some great bikes. I just think Harley made bad decisions in marketing and designs that move them away from their base.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 understood, I’ve owned a few Japanese bikes when I was younger didn’t buy a Harley until late 90’s. I’ve heard some of the new 24’s are having a few issues & horror stories of the AMF years. Thanks for the content👍

Man I used tube after tube of that stuff and the best I can say is it just took a little longer to rattle apart.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 Well....I once had a 56 BSA that was even worse....it probably needed to have every bolt and nut safety wired.....fortunately it threw a rod first!

Harley loves people who have more dollars than Sense.

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 Make that, "Empty Skull and Gipped"

@@Skullyandgypsy3145 I think you mean people who think they have money.

100% agree

If I could get a pan or shovel, I'd build that all day. Buy new? Hell naw.

I moved here 6 years ago and I have to agree with you it's beautiful up here.

I didn't think Harley made a bad bike. I just think they make bad decisions. Waiting 2 years for your bike tells me you have huge patience.

I use to have 36cal mule ear and i wish I still had it.

A lot of TH-cam channels don't give the E C9 the credit it deserves. Thanks for the comment it adds to my point that you don't have to go ultra tactical for personal defense.

Absolutely. The Taurus may be a good gun. But the Smith and Wesson is hands down. The better of the two.

I have a pretty messed up form of arthritis which tends to make the simplest tasks quite challenging. It makes it hard to keep the weight off when you can barely move some days.

It's good to hear from you again, and thank you for the compliment. I find life can get complicated all on its own. So, I tend to gravitate towards the simpler ways of doing things.

Had one of these in 36 cal back on '60. Got rid of it because I'd get a face full of hot powder that would be deflected upwards each time I shot it.

@TomasG42 The early Hopkins and rifles did not come with a flash guard like you see on the one in the video. I can't remember where I got that flashcard. My other Hopkins and Allen rifle doesn't have it.But the stock on the gun keeps it from spraying upwards.But yes , it does spit all over the place otherwise.

All great resources. Thank you

I know Taurus as a whole Has had its issues over the years. But I find that most people that have either the g2 or g3 series firearms have had fairly positive views .

The Smith and Wesson's 642 that I carry is the kind of gun you carry more than you actually shoot it. I totally agree with you.The added weight of the 605 goes a long way to taming recoil.

I never tried a fifty-fifty mix of dawn dishwashing detergent.But I did try a 2 to1 mix Of water and dawn , and it worked quite well. Although it left a kind of sticky goo in the breach after ten rounds. I did notice a slight. Drop in the point of impact after 10 rounds. I have tried a number of concoctions over the years and finally settled on a mixture of 2 parts automotive windshield washer's solvent and one part Murphy's oil soap. I found that the washer solvent would evaporate quickly in a warm barrel, leaving the oil soap as a lubricant.

Yeah, me too. Out of 8 long guns, 5 of them are flintlocks.

Yeah, pretty much. It's hard to find a mass-produced forty caliber long rifle, let alone one that is left-handed. The same goes for my 62 cal Jaeger rifle that you see in my other video.

Thank you

When something is working for you, why change.

I do what I can with the free editing software. That's out there for a cell phone.

When buying a Taurus firearm, you are taking a gamble. For example, between my wife and I, we have had 4 taurus firearms. One that was so bad it was dangerous(the pt22 ) One that is completely unreliable ( the 856 Aluminum frame), And 2 that were excellent ( the 605 and GC3). So the best score I can give Taurus is fifty fifty.

Thank you for the comment and the subscription. Personally, I didn't like the feel of the max 380 in my hand, but I did like the security 380 a little better. There are more choices in 380 now then there was a few years ago ,so now there is something for everyones taste. Thank you again.
